Abstract
Resonant and near-resonant two-photon excitations with ultrashort laser pulses of forbidden atomic transitions give access to a wide class of nonlinear-optical processes such as two-photon absorption, stimulated Raman scattering, four-wave sum- and difference-frequency mixing. The latter has proofed to be a powerful tool for efficient femtosecond pulse generation in the VUV-spectral range [1]. Nevertheless, up to now only few experimental results have been obtained which allow the direct observation of the coherent dynamics in two-photon induced radiation-matter interactions (see experimental papers [2-5] and monograph [6]).
